Tips for beautiful engagement photos

April 27, 2020

Oh me, oh my! Your left hand has been getting in a workout ever since your fiance put that beautiful rock on it and you are oozing with excitement at the thought of wedding planning! Sound at all like you? If it does, congrats girlfriend! I am so happy you are here!

Having your photo taken can feel pretty awkward am I right? So ive written a little blog with a few tips and tricks🍃

1. VISION: What sort of location are you thinking? Field, buildings, beach? Do you have somewhere you will remember fondly of when you look back on these in the years to come? Maybe your engagement location, your first date, maybe you both love the beach?

If you have no idea then don’t worry too much, a lot of my couples leave it up to me to scout out a location.

2. HAIR AND MAKEUP- if you can swing it, its such a fun idea to have your trials before your engagement session so you can feel fab and relaxed.

3. FASHION- I want you to be comfortable, I want you to connect with your images so if you are a jeans and tee kinda gal, then rock it! If your wanting to look a little more glam, I also love that! OR if you cant choose- come with an outfit change!

4. LIGHTING. As a natural light photographer I plan my engagement sessions around 1.5 hours before sunset for those golden look images, this also allows for an outfit change if needed. It also means that at times we may have to reschedule due to weather. You only get to do this once, so ensuring the environment is perfect will give you beautifully lit images!

5. HAVE FUN! Its ok Have fun: This is such an exciting time in your lives. I know that engagement sessions can seem nerve wrecking so go in with an open mind, flirt, love one another, and just have fun. We will laugh a lot, I will help pose you, and your job is to snuggle in, bat your lashes, and laugh until your belly aches. It’s going to be fun, we might finish the session with a bottle of wine, and I promise you that you will love seeing these beautiful images of the two of you for years to come. Engagement sessions are the perfect time to hang out with your photographer, get comfortable in front of the camera, and flirt with your soon to be spouse! What more could a girl ask for?

R+R | FREMANTLE WEDDING WITH HAWAIIAN VIBES

March 20, 2020

Renae and Ryan’s wedding day in Fremantle was giving me a serious case of the travel bug with fresh, tropical, Hawaiian vibes. Renae and Ryan both shared a love for the ocean and sailing and they chose the ceremony spot because the palm tree’s and little street’s reminded them of Hawaii.

Featuring some incredible and favourite vendors including Connor Adams Makeup, a Georgia Young gown, A little Bohemia flowers, just to name a few. Choosing a team you love and trust is so important on a wedding day and these guys did not disappoint. What an incredible day!
